Al Shabab vs Al Khaleej Prediction
Under the management of former Turkey boss Fatih Terim, Al Shabab come into this one on the back of a 3-1 defeat to a now Steven Gerrard-less Al Ettifaq in their most recent outing last weekend. The hosts have been entertaining to watch as they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting tucked inside the top six with their 18 Pro League matches consisting of 47 goals. They now face an Al Khaleej side that have had 49 goals scored in their 18 games with a 1-1 draw with Damak last weekend meaning they have managed just one win in their last five matches. Both teams scoring seems a good bet for this one between two evenly matched sides.
